Birks RCAF Monopusher 36mm Venus 175 Hacking Military Chronograph Steel Manual
Birks
For auction is a rare 1960's Birks RCAF Royal Canadian Air Force 36mm stainless steel manual winding monopusher Venus 175 hacking chronograph. An unpolished but worn and nice overall example of Canada's most vaunted military watch. Working well the only issue is that at some point in its life it had its original hands replaced with dauphine blued luminous hands (at least I think they aren't original as I've never seen these on a Birks RCAF watch). Has an engraving 'Jack Stewart June 20 61'.
